Question

Gordon was thinking of a number. Gordon subtracts 0.3 from the number and gets an answer of 85.6. Form an equation with X as information.

Answer 1

Gordon's Number: 85.9

Equation: (x - 0.3) = 85.6

Use inverse operations.

(x + 0.3) = x

85.6 + 0.3 = 85.9

x = 85.9

Answer 2

x-0.3 = 85.6

Explanation:

You have to create an equation with the worded information given.

If you were asked to solve it to find the number:

x - 0.3 = 85.6

x = 85.9

Hope this helps

Good Luck
